Godzilla 2000: Millennium (ゴジラ2000 ミレニアム Gojira Nisen: Mireniamu?) is a 1999 Japanese science fiction kaiju film featuring Godzilla, produced and distributed by Toho. The film is directed by Takao Okawara, written by Hiroshi Kashiwabara and Wataru Mimura, and stars Takehiro Murata, Hiroshi Abe, Naomi Nishida, Mayu Suzuki and Shiro Sano. It is the 24th film in the Godzilla franchise, the 23rd Godzilla film produced by Toho, the first film in the Millennium Series, and Toho's second reboot of the Godzilla franchise. The film was released on December 11, 1999. Sony Pictures Entertainment's TriStar division released the film in the United States and Canada in August 2000 as Godzilla 2000. The film, along with the other films in the Millennium series, ignores continuity established by any previous films and also follows the original film from 1954.
Godzilla is a literal force of nature to Japan. The Godzilla Prediction Network (GPN) functions independently to study the monster and predict its landfalls. Meanwhile, the scientists of Crisis Control Intelligence (CCI) find a sixty million year old UFO deep in the Japan Trench. As CCI attempts to raise the UFO to study it, it takes off into the sky on its own. Godzilla arrives and battles the Japan Self Defense Forces, now equipped with powerful Full Metal Missiles, but the UFO appears, searching for genetic information that only Godzilla possesses. It fights Godzilla, driving the monster underwater, and then lands to replenish its solar power.
